Critical behavior and magnetocaloric effect of Ba2-xAxFeMoO6 (A = Sm, Ag, x = 0.0, 0.025) simulated by Landau theory
摘要
In this study, the magnetocaloric effect of Ba2-xAxFeMoO6 (A = Sm, Ag and x = 0.0, 0.025) has been modeled. The samples exhibit a second-order transition from ferromagnetic (FM) to paramagnetic (PM) states at transition temperatures (TC) of approximately 310 K, 322 K, and 304 K for the Ba2FeMoO6 (BFMO), Ba1.975Ag0.025FeMoO6 (BAFMO), and Ba1.975Sm0.025FeMoO6 (BSFMO) samples, respectively. Investigation the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in these samples involved simulating the change in magnetic entropy (− ΔSM). The critical exponents, β, γ, and δ were obtained using a numerical method grounded in Landau free energy within the mean-field approximation; the simulated outcomes strongly correlate with the experimental data.
